Yankees designate Alfonso Soriano 

Post#1 » by bishnykfan » Sun Jul 6, 2014 5:00 pm

Busy day for the Yankees. Goodbye again to Alfonso Soriano. He was a very good Yankee last year and especially pre-ARod trade. Was terrible this year though. It will be nice to hopefully see some younger blood getting a few AB's here and there.
All-Time Draft

PG- Oscar Robertson/Bob Cousy
SG- Earl Monroe/James Harden/Dana Barros
SF- Billy Cunningham/Michael Finley/Chet Walker
PF- Elvin Hayes/Dolph Schayes/Tom Chambers/Danny Manning
C- Walt Bellamy/Neil Johnston/Darryl Dawkins

Sad to see him go, ironically, moments before the Yanks dropped him, I dropped him from my fantasy team :(

Yea, the Yankees were hoping he'd be the Ruben Sierra of the team (second stint). Soriano always had a wild swing. He'd get away with that because his speed and strength would offset his horrible pitch selection. Well it's not enough anymore.

They should have designated half the team then.
